Why don't I get my premium back?
The bond
company posts a bond for the full amount of your loved one's bail. They are
responsible for the defendant going to court. Bail premium is kept by the
bonding agency for performing this service.
When do I get my collateral back?
Upon
completion of the defendant's court case, and the bond being discharged by the
court. A copy of the discharge must be provided to the surety company by either
the defendant, or any of the co-signers.
What happens if a person misses their court date? What should I do?
The first
thing you should do is contact the team at Chambers Bail Bonds. When you
let us know the details, we will immediately call the court
and explain the situation and inquire if a new court date can be set for
the defendant. However, in most cases, procedurally, what happens is very
simple. The court issues a bench warrant for the defendant's arrest because
he/she failed to appear. A failure to appear (FTA) notice is sent then
sent to Chambers Bail Bonds, and the case will be assigned to our
in-house Bail Enforcement Agent (BEA). It is very important that you work
with the BEA that is assigned to handle your loved one's case.
Remember, that as a co-signer, you are responsible for the defendant's appearance in court. So your cooperation is very important. In the case where the defendant is not apprehended, Chambers Bail Bonds has to pay the full amount of the bond to the court. At this point, you will be contacted by an Chambers Bail Bonds Agent because YOU will be required to pay for the bond in full if the defendant chooses to become a fugitive from the law.

PROTECT YOUR ASSETS
If you post a bond with Chambers Bail Bonds and the defendant fails to comply with the conditions of release, becomes a flight risk, or decides to flee, you may contact us immediately to have them returned to jail; which will prevent the loss of the bond. Otherwise, you are ultimately responsible for paying the bond in full if the defendant does not appear in court.
THE CONDITIONS OF RELEASE ARE UP TO YOU
If a drug, alcohol, or emotional problem is present, you may request that the defendant accept completion of a treatment program in order to receive bail. As the co-signer, you are ultimately responsible for the defendant and are taking just as much risk as the Chambers Bail Bond Team.
